高中阅读理解专项训练附答案解析1．篇Language as a System of Symbols(符号)Of all systems of symbols, language is the most highly developed. It has been pointed out that human beings, by agreement, can make anything stand for anything. Human beings have agreed, in the course of centuries of mutual dependency, to let the various noises that they can produce with their lungs, throats, tongues, teeth, and lips systematically stand for certain happenings in their nervous systems. We call that system of agreements language.There is no necessary connection between the symbol and that which it stands for. Just as social positions can be symbolized by feathers worn on the head, by gold on the watch chain, or by a thousand other things according to the culture we live in, so the fact of being hungry can be symbolized by a thousand different noises according to the culture we live in.However obvious these facts may appear at first glance, they are actually not so obvious as they seem except when we take special pains to think about the subject. Symbols and the things they stand for are independent of each other, yet we all have a way of feeling as if, and sometimes acting as if, there were necessary connections. For example, there are people who feel that foreign languages are unreasonable by nature; foreigners have such funny names for things, and why can’t they call things by their right names? This feeling exhibits itself most strongly in those English and American tourists who seem to believe that they can make the natives of any country understand English if they shout loud enough. Like the little boy who is reported to have said, “Pigs are called pigs because they are such dirty animals, ” they feel that the symbol is inherently connected in some way with the things symbolized.1．Language is a highly developed system of symbols because human beings _______. A．have made use of language for centuriesB．use our nervous systems to support languageC．have made various noises stand for any eventsD．can make anything stand for anything by agreement2．What can we conclude from Paragraph 2?A．Different noises may mean different things.B．Our culture determines what a symbol stands for.C．The language we use symbolizes our social positions.D．Our social positions determine the way we are dressed.3．In Paragraph 3 the underlined phrase “take special pains” probably means “_______”. A．try very hard B．take our timeC．are very unhappy D．feel especially painful4．In Paragraph 3, the example of the little boy is used to show that _______.A．adults often learn from their youngB．“pig” is a dirty word because pigs are dirtyC．words are not connected with the things they stand forD．people sometimes have wrong ideas about how language works【答案】1．D2．B3．A4．D【分析】这是一篇说明文。

A(words:296&230)Five years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day. “I was a clothes addict(迷),” he jokes. “I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled(皱的).” Today David wears casual clothes — khaki pants and a sports shirt — to the office. He hardly ever wears a necktie. “I’m working harder than ever,” David says, “and I need to feel comfortable.”More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work. In the United States, the changes from formal to casual office wear have been slow. In the early 1990s,many companies allowed their workers to wear casual clothes on Friday(but only on Friday).This became known as “dress-down Friday” or “casual Friday”. “What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for workers has really become an everyday thing,” said business adviser Maisly Jones.?Why have so many companies started allowing their workers to wear casual clothes? One reason is that it's easier for a company to attract new workers if it has a casual dress co de. “A lot of young people don't want to dress up for work,” says the owner of a software company, “so it's hard to hire people if youhave a conservative dress code.” Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes. In a study made by Levi Strauss and Company, 85 percent of employers said that casual dress has a side effect on work. Supporters of casual office wear also say that a casual dress code helps them save money. “Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day,” one person said. “For the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes.”41.David Smith refers to himself as having been “a clothes addict” because ______________.A. he often wore khaki pants and a sports shirtB. he couldn't stand a clean appearanceC. he wanted his clothes to look tidy and clean all the timeD. he didn’t want to spend much money on clothes42. David Smith wears casual clothes now, because ______________.A. they make him feel at ease when workingB. he cannot afford to buy expensive clothesC. he looks handsome in casual clothesD. he no longer works for any company43. According to this passage, which of the following is FALSE?A. Many workers don’t like a conservative dress code.B. Comfortable clothes make workers more productive.C. A casual clothes code is welcomed by young workers.D. All the employers in the U.S. are for casual office wear.44. According to this passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. Company workers started to dress down about twenty years ago.B. Dress-down has become an everyday phenomenon since the early 1990s.C. “Dress-down Friday” was first given as a favor from employers.D. Many workers want to wear casual clothes to impress people.45. In this passage, the following advantages of casual office wear are mentioned EXCEPT ______________.A. saving worker’s moneyB. making workers more attractiveC. improving worker’s feelingD. making workers happier【答案与解析】 41—45 CADCB41.C。

专题高中年级英语阅读理解专项训练带答案(50篇)

高中阅读理解专项训练附答案解析1篇You may not know a lot of people when you start high school. Even if you know some freshmen (新生) , you still feel nervous that you don't know any upperclassmen or teachers. How are you going to make friends among this sea of unknown faces?Most high schools hold a freshman orientation before school actually starts, which is helpful not only because you can know your way around the building and get to meet some of your teachers, but also because you get to meet fellow freshmen. That way, when you show up on your first day of school, you may already recognise a few familiar faces. When you talk to your new classmates, you'll probably find that a lot of them are feeling just like you are. They're all new to the school and don't know what to expect. Talking about a common concern with them can help you develop friendships.The work in high school is something that freshmen are probably worried about. The work in high school builds on what you learnt in middle school, giving you a more advanced knowledge of many subjects. So you may find you have more work to do or that it's a bit more challenging. If you ever find your work too difficult, teachers can give you extra help.High school also has more extracurricular activities than middle school does such as clubs, music and theatre groups and sports teams. This is a good time to explore your interests and try new things.High school gives you the chance to learn how to manage your time, to develop your social skills and interests, and more importantly to be more independent and responsible.1．What does the underlined word “orientation” mean in Paragraph 2?A．Training. B．Game.C．Discussion. D．Examination.2．What are freshmen probably worried about?A．The learning task.B．The ability to make friends.C．The relationship with teachers.D．The freshman orientation.3．Extracurricular activities mainly help students ________.A．build up healthy bodiesB．develop friendshipsC．develop the interestsD．improve their learning ability4．Who is this passage written for?A．Freshmen at high school.B．Freshmen's parents.C．Middle school students.D．Upperclassmen in high school.【答案】1．A2．A3．C4．A【分析】这是一篇说明文。

高三英语阅读理解专项训练100(附答案)含解析

高三英语阅读理解专项训练100(附答案)含解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解When you go to the doctor, you like to come away with a prescription．It makes you feel better to know you will get some medicine. But the doctor knows that medicine is not always needed. Sometimes all a sick person needs is some reassurance that all will be well. In such cases the doctor may prescribe a placebo.A placebo is a sugar pill, a harmless shot, or ail empty capsule. Even though they have no medicine in them, these things seem to make people well. The patient thinks it is medicine and begins to get better. How does this happen?The study of the placebo opens up new knowledge about the way the human body can heal itself. It is as if there was a doctor in each of us. The doctor will heal the body for us if we let it. But it is not yet known just how the placebo works to heal the body. Some people say it works because the human mind fools itself. These people say that if the mind is fooled into thinking it got medicine, then it will act as if it did, and the body will feel better.Placebos do not always work. The success of this treatment seems to rest a lot with the relationship between the patient and the doctor. If the patient has a lot of trust in the doctor and if the doctor really wants to help the patient, then the placebo is more likely to work. So in a way, the doctor is the most powerful placebo of all.A placebo can also have bad effects. If patients expect a bad reaction to medicine, then they will also show a bad reaction to the placebo. This would seem to show that a lot of how you react to medicine is in your mind rather than in your body. Some doctors still think that if the placebo can have bad effects it should never be used. They think there is still not enough known about it. The strange power of the placebo does seem to suggest that the human mind is stronger than we think it is. There are people who say you can heal your body by using your mind. And the interesting thing is that even people who swear this is not possible have been healed by a placebo．（1）What do we know about placebo according to the passage?A. It contains some sort of medicine.B. It won't function if you are negative about medicine.C. People who don't believe placebo can't be healed by it.D. Patients and doctors know clearly how it helps to heal the body.（2）Why is the doctor sometimes the most powerful placebo?A. The patient needs help badly．B. The patient believes in the doctor．C. The doctor knows better about your body．D. The doctor has carefully studied medicine．（3）What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refer to?A. The placebo.B. The bad effect.C. The body.D. The medicine.（4）What is the passage mainly about?A. Placebo：Work on Your MindB. Placebo：The Most Powerful MedicineC. Placebo：The Best DoctorD. Placebo：Heal Your Body【答案】（1）A（2）B（3）B（4）A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，有时候病人的病并不是需要真正的药物来医治，而是需要医生开一些安慰的药剂，安慰病人的心理使病人的情绪得到舒缓，从而有利于病情的痊愈。

(专题)高中年级英语阅读理解专项训练带答案(50篇)

高中阅读理解专项训练附答案解析1篇The word “sport” first meant something that people did in their free time. Later it often meant hunting wild animals and birds. About a hundred years ago the word was first used for organized games. This is the usual meaning of the word today. People spend a lot of time playing football, basketball, tennis and many other sports. Such people play because they leant to. A few people are paid for sport they play. These people are called professional sportsmen. They may be sportsmen for only a few years, but during that time the best ones can earn a lot of money. For example, a professional football player in England earns more than 300,000 dollars a year. The stars earn a lot more. International golf and tennis champions can make more than 500,000 dollars a year. Of course, only a few sportsmen can earn as much as that.Perhaps the most surprising thing about sportsmen and money is that the stars can earn more money from advertising than from sports. An advertisement for sports equipment does not simply mean, “Buy our things”. It says, “Buy the same shirt and shoes as…” Famous sportsmen can even advertise things like watches and food. They allow the companies to use their names or a photo of them and they are paid for this. Sport is no longer just something for people’s spare time.1．From the passage we can learn that .A．famous people spend too much money and time on sportsB．the development of sports is slower than any other activityC．most people enjoy sports because they can earn a lot of moneyD．now sports is not only an amusement for people2．In this passage “professional sportsmen” means people “_____________”.A．who teach others how to make money in sportsB．who take sports as their jobsC．who are very fond of sportsD．who teach other sportsmen how to play sports3．Now, the “sport” means .A．what most of the people do in their spare timeB．hunting wild animals and birds in the forestsC．organized gamesD．something that people are paid to4．Which of the following is TRUE?A．Most people play sports only for money.B．Those who play sports earn more than those who do not.C．People play sports for different purposes.D．Those who play sports want to keep strong and fit.【答案】1．D2．B3．C4．C【分析】本文是说明文。

阅读理解1I grew up poor.We had little money, but plenty of love and attention.I understood that no matter how poor a person was, he could still afford a dream.My dream was athletics.By the time I was sixteen, I was good at baseball and football.Myhighschool coach was Ollie Jarvis.He not only believed in me, but taught me the difference between having a dream and showing conviction (信念)．One summer a friend recommended me for a summer job.This meant a chance for money in my pocket——cash for dates with girls, certainly, money for a new bike and new clothes, and the start of savings for a house for my mother.Then I realized I would have to give up summer baseball to handle the work schedule, and that meant I would have to tell Coach Jarvis I wouldn't be playing.I was dreading (害怕) this, but my mother said: “ If you make your bed, you have to lie in it. ”When I told Coach Jarvis, he was as mad as I expected him to be.“Your playing days are limited.You can't afford to waste them，” he said.“How much are you going to make at this job, son？”he demanded.“Three twentyfive an hour，” I replied.“Well，” he asked，“is $ 3.25 an hour the price of a dream？”That question made me understand the difference between wanting something right now and having a goal.I devoted myself to sports that summer, and within the year I was drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates to playrookieleague ball, and offered a $ 20, 000 contract.I signed with the Denver Broncos in 1984 for $1.7 million, and bought my mother the house of my dream.1．When the boy was offered a job, he wanted to________.A．balance summer baseball and the work scheduleB．refuse the job offer for summer baseballC．give up summer baseball for the jobD．ask his coach Jarvis for advice答案：C解析：细节理解题。

高中英语阅读理解专项训练100附答案

高中英语阅读理解专项训练100附答案一、高考英语阅读理解专项训练1．阅读理解I visited Elba last June, joining Mary and John on a bicycling vacation. They made the arrangements for the car, hotel and bicycles. I studied the history of the island, which of course particularly features Napoleon.Napoleon (now I know) picked Elba as a place for peace when he was forced to give up the throne (王权) as Emperor of France in 1814. Far from being a prison island, Elba is beautiful with towering mountains, thick forests and sweeping bays and beaches.It is also an island filled with treasure. Very early on this island, locals discovered rich deposits of iron. Soon outsiders, too, discovered the iron and 150 other valuable minerals on this little piece of land. Long before Etruscans and other Greeks set foot on it, Dorians had moved in by the tenth century B. C. and were mining the island. The Romans ruled next, obtaining the minerals and building grand houses overlooking the sea. From the twelfth century until the nineteenth, the island was traded back and forth and was passed to France in 1802. Then came Napoleon, the new ruler of Elba.I was eager to visit his house in Portoferraio. The Emperor lived with his court and his mother, but his wife, Marie Louise had ensconced herself in the splendid Viennese palace of her father, Emperor of Austria. She lived safely there and showed little interest in visiting her husband in his mini-kingdom. Apparently, Napoleon wasn't troubled much by this. He was too busy riding everywhere on horseback, building roads, modernizing agriculture and, above all, sharpening his tiny army and navy into readiness for his escape.In the formal gardens behind the house it seemed to me that I could imagine the exiled (流放的) conqueror's anxious thoughts. He might gaze over where I stood now, toward the lighthouse of the Stella fort, the sandy bay, and across it, the green mountains of the Tuscan coast. Napoleon spent only ten months here before making his victorious return to France and the throne.（1）What did the author do for the visit to Elba?A. He did research on its past.B. He arranged transportation.C. He planned bicycling routes.D. He booked accommodation.（2）Who might be the earliest outsiders to Elba according to the text?A. Napoleon and his army.B. Etruscans and other Greeks.C. Dorians.D. Romans.（3）What does the underlined word "ensconced" probably mean?A.Settled.B.Locked.C.Cured.D.Controlled.（4）What came to the author's mind during his visit to Napoleon's gardens?A.Beautiful views on Elba.B.Terrible living conditions on Elba.C.Napoleon's ambition to regain power.D.Hardship of Napoleon's return to France.【答案】（1）A（2）C（3）A（4）C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，作者讲述了对拿破仑曾经流放地Elba岛的参观之旅，作者介绍了Elba岛的历史背景与拿破仑在岛上的生活事迹。

Elizabeth would wave from her darkened room but refuse to join the gatherings. Nearly blind, and requiring oxygen, she never left her bedside. I soon learned, though, that she loved books, and every day after work I would read to her.In dim light we made our way through "King Lear," "Henry IV," "Jane Eyre," the poems of Rupert Brooke.Two golden hours might pass before I'd pack up to return to my apartment. Before I could leave she'd pressmy hand, saying, "Child --my literary child. You bring me such joy." Elizabeth's husband died a decade earlier, and their only child, a daughter, was distant for what heartbreaking reason I never knew.One day an old friend of hers visited and brought her some soup.

The broken houses seemed to be weeping quietly. I couldn't describe how I felt. But something special among the debris (废墟) turned my day around.I joined a club to clean up the beach after the storm last November. As I removed the debris from the beach, I noticed an object with shiny buttons in the wet sand. It was a jacket, and I was excited since Halloween was coming and I thought I had found a great costume.

Kim soon ensured that the jacket had belonged to Chester Braddock deGavre, who was a 1933 graduate and a war hero, but passed away in 1993.I sent Kim a photo of the jacket and she posted it to the West Point Association of Graduates Facebook Page, asking if anyone could help us find the family. In less than two hours, someone had found and called the hero's wife, Teresa.

Neither of us makes a lot of money, but years of experience have taught us how to walk between the raindrops and make it from one month to the next with a fair amount of grace. I cook a lot at home, more when we're facing lean times. When I know that I have to keep usfed on notmuch money, I fall back on my grandmother's recipes. She taught me to cook.When I was a kid, my twin brother and I spent long summer weeks and Christmas vacations with my mother's parents in the mountains of North Carolina. Rather than go hunting with my grandfather on frozen mornings, I found myself more and more in the kitchen with my grandmother, watching her making a lemon cheese pie with her soft hands.My great-grandmother died when my grandmother was 11 years old. As the eldest daughter, she was expected to take on all of the housework while attending school. Throughout the Great Depression, she learned how to makea little food go a long way. Vegetables were cheap, so she cooked a lot of them, mostly only using small amounts of meat for seasoning. Roast beef was a twice-a-month luxury, but there was nothing she couldn't do with a chicken, every part of it. Nothing went to waste.Now I understand that her food was sacred. I feel connected to my grandmother and to hundreds of years offamily when I'm in my kitchen making country food. In the delicious smells is a long tale of victory over hard times, of conquering starvation--of not just surviving, but finding joy and pleasure in every meal of every day.From grandmother I learned to take real satisfaction in feeding people. My grandmother would beam withpleasure over a heavily laden table and say, "Do you know what this would cost at the restaurant?" I never knew what restaurant in particular she had in mind, but I knew that the question was totally not fair, because no restaurantanywhere can cook like a grandmother. But now, thanks to her guidance and years of practice, I can.28. According to the passage, the author cooks a lot at home because__________.A. she wants to try out her grandmother's recipesB. she and her husband are quite particular about foodC. she enjoys cooking at homeD. she and her husband are embarrassed financially29. What does the underlined word "lean" mean in the first paragraph?A. with a bad harvestB. with little moneyC. with little energyD. with little work30. According to the passage, the author's grandmother__________.A. learnt to cook throughout the Great DepressionB. was careful in budgetingC. preferred chicken to beefD. was careful in cooking vegetables31. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A. Cook like My GrandmotherB. My Grandmother's Sacred FoodC. My Grandmother's RecipeD. Joy and Pleasure in Cooking5."Joe? Is that you?" The woman speaking to me at the baseball game looked a little familiar. "Marci?" I asked."It IS you !" she cried out, smiling broadly. "Gosh, it's good tosee you again !"It was good to see Marci, too. Off and on during the past few decades, I've wondered about her. I almost triedto search for her a few years ago after talking to a friend who had indicated that the 1990s had been pretty rough for Marci. So meeting her at the baseball game was really out of expectation.We spent a few minutes talking about our lives—the good old, bad old days. Then Marci grew quiet for a moment. "You know, Joe," she said, " I've always wanted to tell you…how…how sorry I am for the way I tr you. You must have been hurt both physically and mentally." I was a little embarrassed. I turned and looked at her."It's OK," I said, "No big deal!" "But I was such a jerk," she continued. Yes you were, I thought. "We were bothpretty young," I smiled. "I know." she said, "It's just always bothered me, remembering how mean I was to you.And I've wanted to tell you that I'm sorry."The expression on her face was warm and sincere. And there was something in her eyes—it looked a lot like relief. "OK," I said. "Apology accepted!" Overcome by the sweetness of the moment, I reached an arm around herand gave her a quick hug. Just then, the crowd erupted with a huge cheer, and Marci and I both returned our attention to the game. By the time I looked over to where she had been, she was gone. But the warm, wonderful feeling of our brief exchange was still there, and continues to this day whenever I think about it.It isn't enough to just say "I'm sorry" and "You're forgiven." But when those words are truly felt and sincerely expressed, they can open the door to miracles of the heart. Forgiveness can bringpeace to an injured soul—even years after the fact. Even at a baseball game.21. What kind of life did Marci live during the late 20th century according to the passage?A. Happy.B. Busy.C. Hard.D. Simple.22.

Why did Marci look in relief after talking with the author?A. Because her favorite tea m won the game.B. Because she learned Joe was living a good life.C. Because she made an apology to the author.D. Because she found she was not mean any longer.24. What might be the best title for the passage?A. Excitement of a Baseball GameB. Mental Burden of a WomanC. Miracles of ForgivenessD. Relief of Finding a friend6.John Blanchard stood up from the bench, straightened his army uniform, and studied the crowd of people making their way through Grand Central Station. He looked for the girl whose heart he knew, but whose face hedidn't, the girl with the rose.His interest in her had begun thirteen months before in a Florida library. Taking a book off the shelf he found himself intrigued, not with the words of the book, but with the notes penciled in the margin. The soft handwritingreflected a thoughtful soul and insightful mind. In the front of the book, he discovered the previous owner's name, Miss Hollis Maynell. With time and effort he located her address. She lived in New York City. He wrote her a letter introducing himself and inviting her to correspond. The next day he was shipped overseas for service in World War II.During the next year and one month the two grew to know each other through mail. Each letter was a seed falling on a fertile heart. A romance was budding. Blanchard requested a photograph, but she refused. She felt thatif he really cared, it wouldn't matter what she looked like.When the day finally came for him to return from Europe, they scheduled their first meeting --7:00 PM at the Great Central Station in New York. "You'll recognize me," she wrote, "by the red rose I'll be wearing on my lapel."So at 7:00 he was in the station looking for a girl whose heart he loved, but whose face he'd never seen.I'll let Mr. Blanchard tell you what happened: A young woman was coming toward me, and her figure long and slim. Her blonde hair lay back in curls from her delicate ears; her eyes were blue as flowers. Her lips and chin had a gentle firmness, and in her pale green suit she was like springtime come alive. I started toward her, entirely forgetting to notice that she was not wearing a rose. As I moved, a small, attractive smile curved her lips. "Going my way, sailor?" she murmured.Almost uncontrollably I made one step closer to her, andthen I saw Hollis Maynell. She was standing almost directly behind the girl. A woman well past 40, she had graying hair tucked under a worn hat. She was more than plump, her thick-ankled feet thrust into low-heeled shoes. The girl in the green suit was walking quickly away. I feltas though I was split in two, so keen was my desire to follow her, and yet so deep was my longing for the woman whose spirit had truly accompanied me and upheld my own.And there she stood Her pale，plump face was gentle and sensible, her gray eyes had a warm and kindly twinkle. I did not hesitate. My fingers gripped the small worn blue leather copy of the book that was to identify meto her.This would not be love, but it would be something precious, something perhaps even better than love, a friendship for which I had been and must ever be grateful. I squared my shoulders and saluted and held out thebook to the woman, even though while I spoke I felt choked by the bitterness of my disappointment. I'm Lieutenant (中尉)John Blanchard，and you must be Miss Maynell. I am so glad you could meet me; may I take you to dinner?"The woman's face broadened into a tolerant smile. "I don't know what this is about, son," she answered, "butthe young lady in the green suit who just went by, she begged me to wear this rose on my coat And she said if you were to ask me out to dinner, I should go and tell you that she is waiting for you in the big restaurant across thestreet She said it was some kind of test!"It's not difficult to understand and admire Miss Maynell's wisdom. The true nature of a heart is seen in its response to theunattractive, "Tell me whom you love," Houssaye wrote, "And I will tell you who you are."65. The underlined phrase "intrigued" in Paragraph 2 means "______" .A. satisfied withB. fascinated byC. encouraged byD. frustrated with66. How did John Blanchard know of Miss Hollis Maynell?A.

Which of the following can be the best title for thepassage?A. Don't Judge a Book by its CoverB. The Symbol of RoseC. Love is BlindD. A Test of Love7.I went to the Tsavo National Park in northern Kenya for a film. We set off early for a distant water hole. Ahuge elephant covered with dry mud, drank calmly and deeply. He might have traveled 50 km to reach the water.He wasn't going to hurry now. We thought that he'd drink a while and rest in the shade, and then drink again. What actually happened was that he drank deeply and stepped away. Then he suddenly fell down. Within minutes he was dead.We called animal doctor Jeremiah Poghon immediately. He removed the head of a poisoned arrow from the elephant's body, and let out over 100 liters of pus(脓)--the result of the elephant's meeting with a poacher months ago.Today's poacher shoots from a distance. An arrow, covered with poison, is fired into the body of an elephant. If the poacher is lucky, the elephant might die in an hour or two; if not, he might have to follow the elephant for days before it dies. Often the arrow head fails to kill the elephant at once-- it doesn't mean the poison won't finally killthe elephant, but it will be a slow death.Living in Tsavo through these times, I could see the results of poaching from time to time. When I think aboutthe death of that elephant, what stays with me is the extraordinary silence after the shocking sound of his body hitting the ground. I took some comfort from the knowledge that as thedead body returned to the soil, some animals would benefit-- but I couldn't escape the feeling that with the death of such a large animal, the world seemed to be a poorer and emptier place.24. While filming near the water hole, the author and his team ______.A. knew the elephant was injuredB. found the elephant acted violentlyC. tried their best to save the elephantD. thought the elephant was in good condition25. According to the passage, the underlined word "poacher" is probably ______.A. A hunter who kills or catches animals illegallyB. A kind of fierce meat-eating animalC. A serious disease that can infect elephantsD. A kind of deadly poison26. Further examination showed that the dead elephant ______.A. had suffered a lotB. was killed by a poisonous needleC. had suffered an hour or twoD. had had a good fight with a poacher27. Why did the author write the article?A. To introduce the African elephant.B. To show the cruelty of poaching.C. To describe his filming experience.D. To ask readers to protect wild animals.8.Pete Richards was the loneliest man in town on the day that little Jean Grace opened the door of his shop.Pete's grandfather had owned the shop until his death. Thenthe shop became Pete's. The front window wasfull of beautiful old things: jewelry of a hundred years ago, gold and silver boxes, carved figures from China and Japan and other nations.On this winter afternoon, a child stood there, her face close to the window. With large and serious eyes, she studied each piece in the window. Then, looking pleased, she stepped back from the window and went into the shop. Pete himself stood behind the counter. His eyes were cold as he looked at the small girl. " Please," she began, " would you let me look at the pretty string of blue beads in the window?" Pete took the string of blue beads from the window. The beads were beautiful against his hand as he held the necklace up for her to see."They are just right," said the child as though she were alone with the beads. "Will you wrap them up in pretty paper for me, please? I've been looking for a really wonderful Christmas present for my sister."How much money do you have?" asked Pete.She put a handful of pennies on the counter. "This is all I have," she explained simply. "I've been saving the money for my sister's present. "Pete looked at her, his eyes thoughtful. Then he carefully closed his hand over the price mark on the necklace so that she could not see it. How could he tell her the price? The happy look in her big blue eyes struck him like the pain of an old wound."Just a minute," he said and went to the back of the shop. "What's your name?" he called out. He was very busy about something."Jean Grace," answered the child.When Pete returned to the front of the shop, he held apackage in his hand. It was v/rapped in pretty Christmas paper."There you are," he said. "Don't lose it on the way home. "She smiled happily at him as she ran out of the door. Through the window he watched her go. He felt more alone than ever.Something about Jean Grace and her string of beads had made him feel once more the pain of his old grief. The child's hair was as yellow as the sunlight; her eyes were as blue as the sea. Once upon a time, Pete had loved a girl with hair of that same yellow and with eyes just as blue. And the necklace of blue stones had been meant for her.But one rainy night, a car had gone off the road and struck the girl. After she died, Pete felt that he had nothing left in the world except his grief. The blue eyes of Jean Grace brought him out of that world of self-pity and made him remember again all that he had lost. The pain of remembering was so great that Pete wanted to run away from the happy Christmas shoppers who came to look at his beautiful old things during the next ten days.When the last shopper had gone, late on Christmas Eve, The door opened and a young woman came in. Pete could not understand it, but he felt that he had seen her before. Her hair was sunlight yellow and her eyes weresea-blue. Without speaking, she put on the counter a package wrapped in pretty Christmas paper. When Pete opened the package, the string of blue beads lay again before him.Did this come from your shop?" she asked.Pete looked at her with eyes no longer cold. "Yes, it did," he said."Are the stones real?""Yes. They aren't the best turquoise(绿松石), but they are real. ""Can you remember to whom you sold them?""She was a small girl. Her name was Jean. She wanted them for her sister's Christmas present. ""How much were they?""I can't tell you that," he said. "The seller never tells anyone else what a buyer pays. ""But Jean has never had more than a few pennies. How could she pay for them?""She paid the biggest price one can ever pay," he said.For a moment there was no sound in the little shop. Then somewhere in the city, church bells began to ring. It was midnight and the beginning of another Christmas Day."But why did you do it?" the girl asked.Pete put the package into her hands."There is no one else to whom I can give a Christmas present," he said. "It is already Christmas morning. Will you let me take you to your home? I would like to wish you a Merry Christmas at your door. "And so, to the sound of many bells, Pete Richards and a girl whose name he had not yet learned walked outinto the hope and happiness of a new Christmas Day.27. Pete did not say the price of the necklace because ______.A. the seller never tells anyone else what a buyer paysB. he priced the necklace too highC. he knew it would disappoint the girlD. he didn't want to sell the necklace28. The eyes of Jean Grace brought Pete out of his world of self-pity and he ______.A. tried to forget the memory of his sweetheartB. began to look at the world optimisticallyC. remembered his lost loveD. no longer felt the pain in him29.

At the end of the story we see that Pete _____ .A. found another girl that he could trustB. met someone who truly loved himC. found a place to go at lastD. regained his ability to love9.Martha had been working for Miller Laboratories for two years, but she was not happy there. Nothing significant had happened in the way of promotions or salary increases. Martha felt that her supervisor, a youngerand less experienced person than she, did not like her. In fact, the supervisor often said unpleasant things to her.One day, while talking with her friend Maria, she mentioned how discouraged she gave her the name of a cousin of hers who was director of Human Resources Department for a large chemical company. Martha called him the next day and set up an interview on her lunch hour.During the interview, Mr. Petri said, "You're just the kind of person we need here. You're being wasted in your other job. Give me a call in a day or two. I'm sure we can find a place for you in our organization." Martha was so happy she almost danced out of the building.。

高中英语阅读理解专题训练1【The spider】In one way of thinking, failure is a part of life. In another way, failure may be a way towards success. The ―spider story‖ is often told. Robert Bruce, leader of the Scots in the 13th century, was hiding in a cave from the English. He watched a spider spinning a web(蜘蛛织网). The spider tried to reach across a rough place in the rock. He tried six times without success. On the seventh time he made it and went on to spin his web. Bruce is said to have taken heart and to have gone on to defeat the English… Edison, the inventor of the light bulb, made hundreds of models that failed before he found the right way to make one.So what? First, always think about your failure. What caused it? Were conditions right? Were you in top from yourself? What can you change so things will go right next time?Second, is the goal(目标)you're trying to reach the right one? Try to do some thinking about what your real goals may be. Think about his question, “If I do succeed in this, where will it get me?”This may help you prevent failure in things you shouldn't be doing anyway.The third thing to bear in mind about failure is that it's a part of life. Learn to ―live with yourself‖ even though you may have failed. Remember, ―You can't win them all.‖1.This passage deals with two sides of failure.

高中英语阅读理解专项训练复习题含答案一、高考英语阅读理解专项训练1．阅读理解The negative (负面的) health effects of sleep shortages during the week can't be changed by marathon weekend sleep sessions, according to a new study.Researchers have long known that routine sleep deprivation (缺乏) can cause weight gain and increase other health risks, including diabetes. But there are still some people who hope that shutting off the alarm on Saturday and Sunday will repay the weekly sleep debt and remove any ill effects.The research, published in Current Biology, ruins those hopes. Despite complete freedom to sleep in and nap during a weekend recovery period, participants in a sleep laboratory who were limited to five hours of sleep on weekdays gained nearly three pounds over two weeks and experienced metabolic disruption (代谢紊乱) that would increase their risk for diabetes over the long term. While weekend recovery sleep had some benefits after a single week of inadequate sleep, those gains were wiped out when people returned right to their same sleep schedule the next Monday."If there are benefits of catch-up sleep, they're gone when you go back to your routine. It's very short-lived," said Kenneth Wright, who led the research. "These health effects are long-term. It's kind of like smoking once was — people would smoke and wouldn't see an immediate effect on their health, but people will say now that smoking is not a healthy lifestyle choice. I think sleep is in the early stage of where smoking used to be."Wright said that the study suggests people should prioritize sleep — cutting out the optional "sleep stealers" such as watching television shows or spending time on electronic equipment. Even when people don't have a choice about losing sleep due to child-care responsibilities or job schedules, they should think about prioritizing sleep in the same way they would think about a healthy diet or exercise.（1）What had the researchers already known before doing the new research?A. The actual benefits of weekend recovery sleep.B. Harm to health caused by the lack of routine sleep.C. People's habit of shutting off the alarm during holidays.D. The relationship between body weight and sleep amount.（2）Kenneth Wright mentioned smoking to _________.A. call on smokers to completely abandon smokingB. advise people to go to sleep when they want to smokeC. show people have known the harm brought by smokingD. show people will someday notice the bad effects of sleep deprivation（3）What does the underlined word "prioritize" probably mean?A.Have a low opinion of something.B.Increase the amount of something.C.Cut down something that isn't necessary any more.D.Treat something as being more important than others.（4）What can be the best title for the text?A.Weekend Catch-up Sleep Is a LieB.Bad Sleep Habits Are Harmful to HealthC.A New Study Has an Unexpected DiscoveryD.Advantages and Disadvantages of Catch-up Sleep【答案】（1）B（2）D（3）D（4）A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，作者通过一项研究与对比举例的方法让大家明白周末马拉松式的“补觉”并不能扭转工作日睡眠不足对健康的负面影响。

高中英语阅读理解专项训练100及解析一、高考英语阅读理解专项训练1．阅读理解It's no surprise to hear the honking of horns in New York. Whoever tries every day to get more than a few minutes of sleep in the morning in the city will tell you that he could do nothing about it! No one can deny honking of horns is just one of his most widely enjoyed pastimes.But Andy, a Japanese website developer has had enough of it. Once, the 27-year-old man approached the open window to wait for the driver to finish honking, delivered a polite "excuse me" and then yelled "Ho-o-o-o-onk!", which means fierce anger in Japan. Then he threw three eggs from the window of his apartment on to a passing car honking loudly below when his patience was worn out. Instead of apologizing to him, the driver threatened to kill him angrily. So, nobly, Andy turned to non-violence. He started writing anti-honking haiku verses, a form of Japanese poetry, and submitted them to local newspapers:Oh. forget Enron;The problem around here is; All the damn honking (Enron: a major American company that recently caused a scandal because of corrupt(腐败) mismanagement)"Then this kind of chain reaction started happening," Andy says. "All these other haiku started appearing unexpectedly" Andy's community is now covered in anti - honking poetry, written by all walks of life.Patience slowly fades;Residents store up their eggs; That day is coming soon.It's understandable that Andy has set up a website — — and now people from across the country send him news of their own anti - honking activities. It seems that poetry can change the world after all. Then, just recently, anti-anti- honking haiku started to appear, launched by locals who thought Andy should stop worrying about honking and start worrying about starving children, or war in the Middle East instead. Andy has an answer for that. "Stop me if this is too ridiculous," he says, "but they talk about the violence in the Middle East like it's a force of nature, like it's beyond our control. But actually it's kind of like the honking - the violence is man -made. If we can figure out how to stop honking on the streets, I think we could learn some things that we could use on a large scale."（1）What does the first paragraph intend to tell us about New Yorkers?A. They enjoy listening to the honking of horns.B. Their life has been affected by the honking noise.C. They get accustomed to sleeping late in the morning.D. They have formed a habit of honking while driving.（2）What is Andy's final reaction to the frequent honking of horns?A. Pretended to ignore it.B. Screamed at the driver.C. Acted in a peaceful way.D. Complained to the government.（3）According to the passage, most New Yorkers think Andy's response is______.A. acceptableB. pointlessC. sensitiveD. abnormal（4）Facing the criticism of his anti-honking campaign, Andy notes that______.A. if not handled well, honking will cause serious problems like starvationB. fierce violence in the Middle East is more of an issue worthy of concernC. violence in the world as well as honking on the street is under our controlD. finding the solution to anti - honking is as meaningful as that to starvation【答案】（1）B（2）C（3）A（4）D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了纽约的汽车喇叭声严重影响了人们的生活，一个日本人对此做出了很大的挣扎，从激烈对抗到写打油诗的非暴力反抗，以及纽约当地人对此的反映。

(专题)高一年级英语阅读理解专项训练(及答案)(50篇)

高中阅读理解专项训练附答案解析1篇There are four skills in learning English. They are reading, listening, speaking, and writing. The most important thing you must remember is that if you want to improve your speaking and writing skills, you should first master the skills of reading and listening.Read as much as you can. But your reading must be active. It means that you must think about the meaning of the sentence, the meaning of the unfamiliar words, etc. There is no need for you to pay much attention to grammars or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you come across. but the fact that you see them for the first time and recognize them whenever you see them, for example, in other passages or books, is enough. It would be better to prepare yourself a notebook so you can write down the important words or sentences in it.As for listening, there are two choices: besides reading, you can listen every day for about 30 minutes. You can only pay attention to your reading and become skillful at your reading, then you can catch up on your listening. Since you have lots of inputs in your mind, you can easily guess what the speaker is going to say. This never means that you should not practice listening. For listening you can listen to cartoons or some movies that are specially made for children. Their languages are easy. Or if you are good at listening you can listen to VOA or BBC programs every day. Again the thing to remember is being active in listening and preferably taking some notes.If you follow these pieces of advice, your speaking and writing will improve quickly, and you can be a fluent English speaker one day.1．According to the writer, which should you improve first among the four skills?A．Reading and listening.B．Reading and writing.C．Writing and speaking.D．Speaking and listening.2．To improve your reading, when you read you should ________.A．look up all the new words in the dictionaryB．think about what you are reading activelyC．spend more time studying grammarsD．copy as many words and sentences as possible3．The underlined phrase “come across” in Paragraph 2 can probably be replaced by “________”. A．meet B．discoverC．hear D．look for【答案】1．A2．B3．A【分析】这是一篇说明文。

高中阅读理解专项训练附答案解析1篇Drrinnggg! That’s the sound that kids all over the country hate to hear-the alarm bell. The new school year has just started and children across the UK have to wake up early in the morning to go to school.But students at one school in northeast England are lucky. They can lie in bed for an extra(额外的)hour before they go to school. Monkseaton High School has been allowing its pupils to come into school an hour later than other schools.The headmaster, Dr Paul Kelley, says that this new approach(方式) helps students pay more attention to their lessons in class. He feels that young people are more energetic and can perform better for the rest of the day. And he adds that for their school students, a late start at school may be better than an early one.Dr Kelley tells the BBC that teenagers don’t perform very well in the morning and their need to sleep is biological(生物的). It seems that this new approach to teaching shows positive(积极的) results. The number of students who sleep in class drops quickly. Besides, the school has already seen a drop in the number of pupils who play truant(逃学) by 27%. More importantly, Dr Kelley also says that exam results have improved by 20%-30% over the past year.Classes at Monkseaton High School begin at 10 a.m. and finish at 3:40 p.m. However, the school opens from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The students can come early and leave late if they want.1．What is this passage?A．A news report.

高中英语阅读理解题及详细答案解析12篇

阅读理解专项练习一:Do dogs understand us?Be careful what you say around your dog. It might understand more than you think.A border collie named Rico recognizes the names of about 200 objects, say researchers in Germany. The dog also appears to be able to learn new words as easily as a 3-year-old child. Its word-learning skills are as good as those of a parrot or chimpanzee(黑猩猩.In one experiment, the researchers took all 200 items that Rico is supposed to know and divided them into 20 groups of 10 objects. Then the owner told the dog to go and fetch one of the items and bring it back. In four tests, Rico got 37 out of 40 commands right. As the dog couldn't see anyone to get clues, the scientists believe Rico must understand the meanings of certain words.In another experiment, the scientists took one toy that Rico had never seen before and put it in a room with seven toys whose names the dog already knew. The owner then told Rico to fetch the object, using a word the dog had never heard before.The correct object was chosen in seven out of l0 tests, suggesting that the dog had workedout the answer by process of elimination(排除法. A month later, Rico remembered half of the new names, which is even more impressive.Rico is thought to be smarter than the average dog. For one thing, Rico is a border collie, a breed (品种known for its mental abilities. In addition, the 9-year-old dog has been trained to fetch toys by their names since the age of nine months.It's hard to know if all dogs understand at least some of the words we say. Even if they do, they can't talk back. Still, it wouldn't hurt to sweet-talk your dog every now and then. You might just get a big, wet kiss in return!60. From paragraph 2 we know that __ .A. animals are as clever as human beingsB. dogs are smarter than parrots and chimpanzeesC. chimpanzees have very good word-learning skillsD. dogs have similar 'learning abilities as 3-year-old children61. Both experiments show that .A. Rico is smart enough to get all commands rightB. Rico can recognize different things including toysC. Rico has developed the ability of learning mathematicsD. Rico won't forget the names of objects once recognizing them62. Which of the following statements is true?A. The purpose of the experiments is to show the border collie's mental abilities.B. Rico has a better memory partly because of its proper early training.C. The border collie is world-famous for recognizing objects.D. Rico is born to understand its owner's commands.63. What does the writer want to tell us?A. To train your dog.B. To talk to your dog.C. To be friendly to your dog.D. To be careful with your dog.4Paynes Prairie(usedHave you ever heard of Paynes Prairie? It is one of the most important natural and historical areas in Florida. Paynes Prairie is located near Gainesville. It is large, 21 000 acres. This protected land is called a preserve. The Florida Park Servicemanage the preserve.The Paynes Prairie basin was formed when limestone dissolved and the ground settled. It is covered by marsh(沼泽and wet prairie vegetation. There are areas of open water. During brief periods it has flooded enough to be considered a lake. Except for that, the basin has changed little through time.Man has lived on Paynes Prairie a very long time. He lived there as far back as 10000 B. C. At one time, the Seminoles lived there. The prairie is thought to have been named after King Payne, a Seminole chief. During the late 1600s, the largest cattle ranch in Florida was on Paynes Prairie. Today, Paynes Prairie is preserved land . It is occupied by visitors and Florida Park Service employees.Willam Bartram visited Paynes Praire. Bartram was the first person who portrayed (describednature through personal experience as well as scientific observation. He lived 200 years ago. He visited Paynes Prairie in 1774. At that time he described it. He called Paynes Prairie the "great Alachua Savannah."Most of the animal life, which Bartram described, is still here. A large number of sandhill cranes, hawks and waterfowl are here in winter.

Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relive these experiences in nightmares.Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories.The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce ,or possibly erase(抹去,the effect of painful memories.In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research hassuggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased.The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, While others support it.Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers' troubling memories after war. They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories."Some memories can ruin people's lives . They come back to you when you don't want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions," said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. "This could relieve a lot of that suffering."But those who are against the research say that changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity (特质. They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past."All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were horrible at the time but make us who we are. I'm not sure we want to wipe those memories out, "said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist.68. The passage is mainly about .A. a new medical inventionB. a new research on the pillC. a way of erasing painful memoriesD. an argument about the research on the pill69. The drug tested on people can .A. cause the brain to fix memoriesB. stop people remembering bad experiencesC. prevent body producing certain chemicalsD. Wipe out the emotional effects of memories70. We can infer from the passage that .A. people doubt the effects of the pillsB. the pill will stop people's bad experiencesC. taking the pill will do harm to people's healthD. the pill has probably been produced in America71. Which of the following does Rebecca Dresser agree with?A. Some memories can ruin people's lives.B. People want to get rid of bad memories.C. Experiencing bad events makes us different from others.D. The pill will reduce people's sufferings from bad memories.6What's your dream vacation? Watching wildlife in Kenya? Boating down the Amazon? Sunbathing in Malaysia? New chances are opening up all the time to explore the world. So we visit travel agents, compare packages and prices ,and pay our money.We know what our vacation costs us. But do we know what it might cost someone else? It's true that many poorer countries now depend on tourism for foreign income. Unfortunately, though, tourism often harms the local people more than it helps them.It might cost their homes and lands. In Myanmar, 5,200 people were forced to leave their homes among the pagodas(佛塔in Bagan so that tourists could visit the pagodas.Tourism might also cost the local people their livelihood and dignity. Local workers often find only menial(卑微的jobs in the tourist industry. And most of the profits do not help the local economy. Instead, profits return to the tour operators in wealthier countries, When the Maasai people in Tanzania were driven from their lands, some moved to city slums. Others now make a little money selling souvenirs or posing for photos.Problems like these were Observed more that 20 years ago. But now some non-government organizations, tour operators and local governments are working together to begin correcting them. Tourists, too, are putting on the pressure.The result is responsible tourism, or “ethical tourism.” Ethical tourism has people at its heart. New international agreements and codes of conduct can help protect the people's lands, homes, economies and cultures. The beginnings are small, though, and the problems are complex.But take heart. The good news is that everyone, including us, can play a part to help the local people in the placeswe visit. Tour operators and companies can help by making sure that local people work in good conditions and earn reasonable wages.They can make it a point to use only locally owned hotel, restaurants and guide services. They can share profits fairly to help the local economy. And they can involve the local people in planning and managing tourism.What can tourists do? First, we can ask tour companies to provide information about the conditions of local citizens. We can then make our choices and tell them why. And while we're abroad, we can:Buy local foods and products, not imported ones.Pay a fair price for goods and services and not bargain for the cheapest price.Avoid flaunting wealth.Ask before taking photographs of people.They are not just part of the landscape!Let's enjoy our vacation and make sure others do, too.72.

Local people are mainly provided with low-paying work.D. Tourists could bargain with local people for a reasonable price.74. The underlined phrase "take heart" means" ".A. pay attentionB. take careC. cheer upD. calm down75. According to the passage, the writer thinks .A. tourism is not a promising industryB. dream vacations should be spent abroadC. the problems caused by tourism are easy to settleD. tourists should respect local customs and culture7Robert Owen was born in Wales in 1771. At the age of ten he went to work. His employer had a large private library so Owen was able to educate himself. He read a lot in his spare time and at nineteen he was given the job of superintendent(监工 at a Manchester cotton mill. He was so successful there that he persuaded his employer to buy the New Lanark mill in Scotland.When he arrived at New Lanark it was a dirty little town with a population of 2,000 people. Nobody paid any attention to the workers' houses or their children's education. The conditions in the factories were very bad. There was a lot of crime and the men spent most of their wages on alcoholic drinks.Owen improved the houses. He encouraged people to be clean and save money. He opened a shop and sold the workers cheap, well-made goods to help them. He limited the sale of alcoholic drinks. Above all, he fixed his mind on the children's education. In 1816 he opened the first free primary school in Britain.People came from all over the country to visit Owen's factory. They saw that the workers were healthier and more efficient than in other towns. Their children were better fed and better educated. Owen tried the same experiment in the United States. He bought some land there in 1825,but the community was too far away. He could not keep it under control and lost most of his money.Owen never stopped fighting for his idea. Above all he believed that people are not born good or bad. He was a practical man and his ideas were practical. "If you give people good working conditions," he thought, "they will work well and, the most important thing of all, if you give them the chance to learn, they will be better people."56. For Owen, his greatest achievement in New Lanark was _____________.A. improving worker's housesB. helping people to save moneyC. preventing men from getting drunkD. providing the children with a good education57. From the passage we may infer that Owen was born ___________.A. into a rich familyB. into a noble familyC. into a poor familyD. into a middle class family58. Owen's experiment in the United States failed because _______.A. he lost all his moneyB. he did not buy enough landC. people who visited it were not impressedD. it was too far away for him to organize it properly59. We may infer form the passage that no children in Britain could enjoy free education until ____.A. 1771B. 1816C. 1825D. 18608Do you want to improve the way you study? Do you feel nervous before a test? Many students say that a lack of concentration (注意力 is their biggest problem. It seriously affects their ability to study, so do their test results.If so, use these tips to help you.Study Techniques●You should always study in the same place. You shouldn’t sit in a position that yo u use foranother purpose. For example, when you sit on a sofa to study, your brain will think it is time to relax. Don’t watch TV while you are studying. Experts warn that your concentration may be reduced by 50 percent if you attempt to study in this way. Always try to have a white wall in front of you, so there is nothing to distract (make less concentrated you. Before sitting down to study, gather together all the equipment you need. Apart from your textbooks, pens, pencils and knives, make sure you have a dictionary. If your study desk or table is needed when you are not studying, store all your equipment in a box beside it.●Your eyes will become tired if you try to read a text which is on a flat surface. Position yourbook at an angle of 30 degrees.●Be realistic and don’t try to complete too much in one study period. Finish one thing beforebeginning another. If you need a break, get up and walk around for a few minutes, but try not to telephone a friend or have something to eat.Test-taking Skills●A ll your hard work will be for nothing if you are too nervous to take your test. Getting plenty ofrest is very important. This means do not study all night before your test! It is a better idea to have a long-term study plan. Try to make a timetable for your study which lasts for a few months.●Exercise is a great way to reduce pressure. Doing some form of exercise every day will alsoimprove your concentration. Eat healthy food too.●When you arrive in the examination room, find your seat and sit down. Bre athe slowly anddeeply. Check the time on the clock during the test, but not too often. Above all, take no notice of everyone else and give the test paper your undivided attention.65. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. You should study in a different place every day, so you don’t get bored.B. Your concentration will improve if you study and watch TV at the same time.C. Check the time during the exam at a certain time.D. Staying up all night and studying is tiring, but you will learn a lot using this method.66. What does the underlined word “it” refer to?A. Your study desk or table.B. Your textbook.C. Your dictionary.D. The equipment you need.67. What can be inferred from the passage?A. You shouldn’t look at ever yone else during the test.B. You will have enough energy to deal with your study and exams by eating healthy diet.C. You’ll concentrate more if there is nothing to distract you.D. If you feel tired during study, you can walk around for a few minutes.9On June 17, 1774, the officials from Maryland and Virginia held a talk with the Indians of the Six Nations. The Indians were invited to send boys to William and Mary College. In a letter the next day they refused the offer as follows: We know that you have a high opinion of the kind of learning taught in your colleges, and that the costs of living of our young men, while with you, would be very expensive to you. We are convinced that you mean to do us good by your proposal; and we thank you heartily. But you must know that different nations have different ways of looking at things, and you will therefore not be offended if our ideas of this kind of education happen not to be the same as yours. We have had some experience of it. Several of our young people were formerly brought up at the college of the northern provinces: they were taught all your sciences; but when they came back to us, they were bad manners, ignorant of every means of living in the woods– they were totally good for nothing. We are, however, not the less obliged by your kind offer, though we refuse to accept it; and, to show our grateful sense of it, if the gentlemen of Virginia will send us a dozen of their sons, we will take care of their education, teach them all we know, and make men of them. 68. The passage is about____. A. the talk between the Indians and the officials B. the colleges of the northern provinces C. the educational values of the Indians D. the problems of the Americans in the mid-eighteen century 69. The Indian chief’s pur pose of writing the letter seems to be to ____. A. politely refuse a friendly offer B. express their opinions on equal treatment C. show their pride D. describe Indian customs 70. According to the letter, the Indians believed that ____. A. it would be better for their boys to receive some schooling B. they were being insulted by the offer C. they knew more about science than the officials D. they had better way of educating young men 71. Different from the officials’ view of education, the Indians thought ____. A. young women should also be educated B. theyhad different goals of education C. they taught different branches of science D. they should teach the sons of the officials first 10 Never go into a supermarket hungry! This is a good piece of advice. If you go shopping for food before lunchtime, you’ll probably buy more than you plan to. Unfortunately, however, just this advice isn’t enough for consumers these days. Modern shoppers need an education in how and how not to buy things at the store. First, you check the weekly newspaper ads. Find out the items that are on sale and decide if you really need these things. In other words, don’t buy anything just because it’s cheaper than usual! “New and Improved!” or “All Natural” on the front of a package influence you. Instead, read the list of ingredients(contents on the back. Third, compare prices: that is, you should examine the prices of both different brands and different sizes of the same brand. Another suggestion for consumers is to buy ordinary items instead of famous brands. Ordinary items in supermarkets come in plain packages. These products are cheaper because producers don’t spend much money on packing or advertising. The quality, however, is usually as good as the quality of well-known name brands. In the same way, in buying clothes, you can often find high quality and low prices in brands that are not famous. Shopping in discount clothing stores can help you save a lot of money. Although these stores aren’t very attractive, and they usually do not have individual dressing rooms, not only are the prices low, but you can often find the same famous brands that you find in high-priced department stores. Wise consumers read magazine ads and watch TV commercials, but they do this with one advantage: knowledge of the psychology behind the ads. In other words, well-informed consumers watch for information and check for misinformation. They ask themselves questions: Is the advertiser hiding something in small print at the bottom of the page? Is there any real information in the commercial, or is the advertiser simply showing an attractive image? With the answers to these questions, consumers can make a wise choice. 72. All the following statements are true about the phrase “ordinary items” in Paragraph 2 excep t____. A. ordinary items never say “New and Improved” or “All Natural” B. ordinary products are usually cheaper than famous brands C. producers spend less money onpackaging of ordinary items D. the quality of ordinary items is usually as good as that of famous brands 73. What does the writer think about ads? A. They are believable. B. They are attractive. C. They are full of misinformation. D. They are helpful to consumers. 74. One of the author’s suggestions to consumers is ____.A. to make use of adsB. not to buy items with words like “New and Improved” or “All Natural”C. to buy high quality items such as famous brands after lunchD. to buy any ordinary items instead of famous brands 75. The author implies that ____. A. going into the supermarket hungry, you may buy more than you plan to B. the quality of ordinary items is usually high and the prices are relatively low C. discount clothing stores are good places to go to D. ads sometimes don’t tell the truth 11 Language learning begins with listening. Children are greatly different in the amount of listening they do before they start speaking, and later starters are often long listeners .Most children will “obey” spoken instructions some time before they can speak, though the word “obey” is hardly accurate as a description of the eager and delighted cooperation usually shown by the child .Before they can speak, many children will also ask questions by gesture and by making questioning noises. Any attempt to study the development from the noises babies make to their first spoken words leads to considerable difficulties. It is agreed that they enjoy making noises, and that during the first few months one or two noises sort themselves as particularly expressive as delight, pain, friendliness, and so on. But since these can’t be said to show the baby’s intention to communicate, they can hardly be regarded as early forms of language. It is agreed, too, that from about three months they play with sounds for enjoyment, and that by six months they are able to add new words to their store. This self-imitation（模仿）leads on to deliberate（有意的）imitation of sounds made or words spoken to them by other people. The problem then arises as to the point at which one can say that these imitations can be considered as speech. It is a problem we need to get out teeth into. The meaning of a word depends on what a particular person means by it in a particular situation and it is clear that what a child means by a word will change as he gains more experience of the world .Thus the use atseven months of “mama” as a greeting for his mother cannot be dismissed as a meaningless sound simply because he also uses it at other times for his father, his dog, or anything else he likes. Playful and meaningless imitation of what other people say continues after the child has begun to speak for himself, I doubt, however whether anything is gained when parents take advantage of this ability in an attempt to teach new sounds. 51. Before children start speaking________. A. they need equal amount of listening B. they need different amounts of listening C. they are all eager to cooperate with the adults by obeying spoken instructions D. they can’t understand and obey the adult’s oral instructions 52. Children who start speaking late ________. A. may hav e problems with their listening B. probably do not hear enough language spoken around them C. usually pay close attention to what they hear D. often take a long time in learning to listen properly 53. A baby’s first noises are ________. A. an expression of his moods and feelings B. an early form of language C. a sign that he means to tell you something D. an imitation of the speech of adults 54. The problem of deciding at what point a baby’s imitations can be considered as speech________. A. is important because words have different meanings for different people B. is not especially important because the changeover takes place gradually C. is one that should be properly understood because the meaning of words changes with age D. is one that should be completely ignored（忽略）because children’s use of words is often meaningless 55. The speakerimplies________. A. parents can never hope to teach their children new sounds B. children no longer imitate people after they begin to speak C. children who are good at imitating learn new words more quickly D. even after they have learnt to speak, children still enjoy imitating 12 The Peales were a famous family of American artists. Charles Willson Peale is best remembered for his portraits of leading figures of the American Revolution. He painted portraits of Franklin and Jefferson and over a dozen of George Washington. His life-size portrait of his sons Raphaelle and Titian was so realistic that George Washington reportedly once tipped his hat to the figures in the picture. Charles Willson Peale gave up painting in his middle age and devoted his life to the Pealemuseum, which he founded in Philadelphia. The world’s first popular museum of art and natural science mainly covered paintings by Peale and his family aswell as displays of animals in their natural settings. Peale found the animals himself and found a method to make the exhibits more lifelike. The museum’s most popular display was the skeleton (骷髅 of a huge, extinct elephant, which Peale unearthed on a New York fa rm in 1801. Three of Peale’s seventeen children were also famous artists. Paphaelle Peale often painted still lives of flowers, fruit, and cheese. His brother Rembrandt studied under his father and painted portraits of many noted people, including one of George Washington. Another brother, Rubens Peale, painted mostly landscapes and portraits. James Peale, the brother of Charles Willson Peale, specialized in miniatures (小画像. His daughter Sarah Miriam Peale was probably the first professional female portrait painter in America. 71. What is the main topic of the passage? A. The life of Charles Willson Peale. B. Portraits in the 18th century. C. The Peale Museum. D. A family of artists. 72. The author mentions in Paragraph 1 that Washington tipped his hat to th e figures in the painting to show that ________. A. Charles Willson Peale’s painting was very lifelike B. Washington respected Charles Willson Peale’s work C. Washington was friendly with Raphaelle and Titian Peale D. the painting of the two brothers was very large 73.

高中英语阅读理解题12篇及答案

阅读理解专项练习一：1When families gather for Christmas dinner, some will stick to formal traditions dating back to grandma's generation. Their tables will be set with the good dishes and silver, and the dress codewill be Sunday best.But in many other homes, this china-and-silver elegance has given way to a stoneware (粗陶) and stainless informality, with dresses assuming an equally casual-Friday look. For hosts andguests, the change means greater simplicity and comfort. For makers of fine china in Britain, itspells economic hard times.Last week Royal Doulton, the largest employer in Stoke-on-Trent, announced that it is eliminating1,000 jobs -- one-fifth of its total workforce. That brings to more than 4, 000 the numberof positions lost in 18 months in the pottery (陶瓷) region. Wedgwood and other pottery factoriesmade cuts earlier.Although a strong pound and weak markets in Asia play a role in the downsizing, the layoffs in Stoke have their roots in earthshaking social shifts. A spokesman for Royal Doulton admitted that the company "has been somewhat slow in catching up with the trend" toward casual dining. Families eat together less often, he explained, and more people eat alone, either because they are single or they eat infront of television.Even dinner parties, if they happen at all, have gone casual. In a time of long work hours and demanding family schedules, busy hosts insist, rightly, that it's better to share a takeout pizzaon paper plates in the family room than to wait for the perfect moment or a "real" dinner party.Too often, the perfect moment never comes. Iron a fine-patterned tablecloth? Forget it. Polish thesilver? Who has time?Yet the loss of formality has its down side. The fine points of etiquette (礼节) that childrenmight once have learned at the table by observation or instruction from parents and grandparents(" Chew with your mouth closed." "Keep your elbows off the table. ") must be picked up else-where. Some companies now offer etiquette seminars for employees who may be able professionallybut inexperienced socially.72. Why do people tend to follow the trend to casual dining?A. Family members need more time to relax.B. Busy schedules leave people no time for formality.C. People prefer to live a comfortable life.D. Young people won't follow the etiquette of the older generation.73. It can be learned from the passage that 'Royal Doulton is .A. a seller of stainless steel tablewareB. a dealer in stonewareC. a pottery chain storeD. a producer of fine China74. The main cause of the layoffs in the pottery industry is .A. the increased value of the poundB. the worsening economy in AsiaC.the change in people's way of lifeD. the fierce competition at home and abroad75. Formal table manners, though less popular than before in current Social life, .A.are still a must on certain occasionsB. are certain to return sooner or laterC. are still being taught by parents at homeD. can help improve personal relationships2When Johnny Cash sings, people listen. His big, deep voice rumbles out of radios and juke-boxes across North America. His records sell by the million. Country-music fans everywhere, knowhis big hits. They love songs like "Hey Porter", "Ring of Fire", and "Folsom Prison Blue".Johnny Cash sings about a hundred concerts a year. People like what they hear--and whatthey see, too. Rugged and big-shouldered, the singer stands six-two without his black boots on.He's a two-hundred-pound package of muscle and talent. And that scar(疤痕)on his cheek? It'sa bullet(子弹)hole, of course!In the minds of most people, Johnny Cash is "Mr Tough( violent) Guy". He's an ex-drugaddict (上瘾者)who was once put in prison. His grandmother was an Indian. To keep from starvinghe once had to live on wild rabbits killed from forty feet away with a knife. Some people say heeven killed a man.In fact, most of the Johnny Cash story is just that--a story. True, years ago he had a "drughabit "for a short time. He "popped" pills. But he never used heroin or other "hard "drugs. Some-times he'd go wild and get locked up for a few hours . But he never served a prison sentence.There's no Indian blood in his veins. He's been a killer only in song. As for the "bullet hole",it's an old scar left by a doctor who opened a cyst(囊肿).People who know Johnny Cash well say he's a "gentle guy", a "generous guy'--anything buta "tough guy". How did the stories get started? Some of them, like the story about the "Indian grandmother", he made up long ago to add excitement to his career. Others , like the "bullethole" , simply got started. Now there's little the singer can do to change people's minds. "Theyjust want to believe it," he says.56. Johnny Cash is a favorite of many .A. opera loversB. country music fansC. hard-rock fansD. jazz music lovers57. In truth, Johnny Cash .A. invented the "Indian grandmother"B. used to kill rabbits for a livingC. had a bullet hole on his cheekD. served a long prison sentence58. In his private life, Johnny Cash is, .A. much wilder than he looksB. much smaller than he is on stageC. much tougher than he is in publicD. much more gentle than most people suppose59. The passage shows us that many people believe .A. only what they seeB. what they are sure is trueC. only what they hearD. what they find interestingB3Do dogs understand us?Be careful what you say around your dog. It might understand more than you think.A border collie named Rico recognizes the names of about 200 objects, say researchers in Germany. Thedog also appears to be able to learn new words as easily as a 3-year-old child. Its word-learning skills are as good as those of a parrot or chimpanzee(黑猩猩).In one experiment, the researchers took all 200 items that Rico is supposed to know and divided them into 20 groups of 10 objects. Then the owner told the dog to go and fetch one of the items and bring it back. In four tests, Rico got 37 out of 40 commands right. As the dog couldn't see anyone to get clues, the scientists believe Rico must understand the meanings of certain words.In another experiment, the scientists took one toy that Rico had never seen before and put it in a room with seven toys whose names the dog already knew. The owner then told Rico to fetch the object, using a word the dog had never heard before.The correct object was chosen in seven out of l0 tests, suggesting that the dog had workedout the answer by process of elimination(排除法). A month later, Rico remembered half of the new names, which is even more impressive.Rico is thought to be smarter than the average dog. For one thing, Rico is a border collie, a breed (品种)known for its mental abilities. In addition, the 9-year-old dog has been trained to fetch toys by their names since the age of nine months.It's hard to know if all dogs understand at least some of the words we say. Even if they do, they can't talk back. Still, it wouldn't hurt to sweet-talk your dog every now and then. You might just get a big, wet kiss in return!60. From paragraph 2 we know that __ .A. animals are as clever as human beingsB. dogs are smarter than parrots and chimpanzeesC. chimpanzees have very good word-learning skillsD. dogs have similar 'learning abilities as 3-year-old children61. Both experiments show that .A. Rico is smart enough to get all commands rightB. Rico can recognize different things including toysC. Rico has developed the ability of learning mathematicsD. Rico won't forget the names of objects once recognizing them62. Which of the following statements is true?A. The purpose of the experiments is to show the border collie's mental abilities.B. Rico has a better memory partly because of its proper early training.C. The border collie is world-famous for recognizing objects.D. Rico is born to understand its owner's commands.63. What does the writer want to tell us?A. To train your dog.B. To talk to your dog.C. To be friendly to your dog.D. To be careful with your dog.4Paynes Prairie(used)Have you ever heard of Paynes Prairie? It is one of the most important natural and historical areas in Florida. Paynes Prairie is located near Gainesville. It is large, 21 000 acres. This protected land is called a preserve. The Florida Park Service manage the preserve.The Paynes Prairie basin was formed when limestone dissolved and the ground settled. It is covered by marsh(沼泽)and wet prairie vegetation. There are areas of open water. During brief periods it has flooded enough to be considered a lake. Except for that, the basin has changed little through time.Man has lived on Paynes Prairie a very long time. He lived there as far back as 10000 B. C. At one time, the Seminoles lived there. The prairie is thought to have been named after King Payne, a Seminole chief. During the late 1600s, the largest cattle ranch in Florida was on Paynes Prairie. Today, Paynes Prairie is preserved land . It is occupied by visitors and Florida Park Service employees.Willam Bartram visited Paynes Praire. Bartram was the first person who portrayed (described)nature through personal experience as well as scientific observation. He lived 200 years ago. He visited Paynes Prairie in 1774. At that time he described it. He called Paynes Prairie the "great Alachua Savannah."Most of the animal life, which Bartram described, is still here. A large number of sandhill cranes, hawks and waterfowl are here in winter. The animal diversity is increased by the presence of pine flatwoods, hammock, swamps and ponds.The Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park is open year round. The Florida Park Service works hard so that the park will appear as it did in the past. It offers many opportunities for recreation. At the park you can camp and picnic. You can hike and bike. You can boat and fish. You can ride on horse trails. And you can see lots of nature and wildlife. You can see Florida as it was in the early days.Paynes Prairie is a part of our Florida history. It is an example of our Florida natural resources. It is a place for recreation. Paynes Prairie is an important experience of the Real Florida.64. How was the Paynes Prairie basin formed?A.

Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences.Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relive these experiences in nightmares.Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce ,or possibly erase(抹去),the effect of painful memories.In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased.The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, While others supportit.Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers' troubling memories after war. They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories."Some memories can ruin people's lives . They come back to you when you don't want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions," said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. "This could relieve a lot of that suffering."But those who are against the research say that changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity (特质). They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past."All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were horrible at the time but make us who we are. I'm not sure we want to wipe those memories out, "said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist.68. The passage is mainly about .A. a new medical inventionB. a new research on the pillC. a way of erasing painful memoriesD. an argument about the research on the pill69. The drug tested on people can .A. cause the brain to fix memoriesB. stop people remembering bad experiencesC. prevent body producing certain chemicalsD. Wipe out the emotional effects of memories70. We can infer from the passage that .A. people doubt the effects of the pillsB. the pill will stop people's bad experiencesC. taking the pill will do harm to people's healthD. the pill has probably been produced in America71. Which of the following does Rebecca Dresser agree with?A. Some memories can ruin people's lives.B. People want to get rid of bad memories.C. Experiencing bad events makes us different from others.D. The pill will reduce people's sufferings from bad memories.6What's your dream vacation? Watching wildlife in Kenya? Boating down the Amazon? Sunbathing in Malaysia? New chances are opening up all the time to explore the world. So we visit travel agents, compare packages and prices ,and pay our money.We know what our vacation costs us. But do we know what it might cost someone else? It's true that many poorer countries now depend on tourism for foreign income. Unfortunately, though, tourism often harms the local people more than it helps them.It might cost their homes and lands. In Myanmar, 5,200 people were forced to leave their homes among the pagodas(佛塔)in Bagan so that tourists could visit the pagodas.Tourism might also cost the local people their livelihood and dignity. Local workers often find only menial(卑微的)jobs in the tourist industry. And most of the profits do not help the local economy. Instead, profits return to the tour operators in wealthier countries, When the Maasai people in Tanzania were driven from their lands, some moved to city slums. Others now make a little money selling souvenirs or posing for photos.Problems like these were Observed more that 20 years ago. But now some non-government organizations, tour operators and local governments are working together to begin correcting them. Tourists, too, are putting on the pressure.The result is responsible tourism, or “ethical tourism.” Ethical tourism has people at its heart. New international agreements and codes of conduct can help protect the people's lands, homes, economies and cultures. The beginnings are small, though, and the problems are complex.But take heart. The good news is that everyone, including us, can play a part to help the local people in the places we visit. Tour operators and companies can help by making sure that local people work in good conditions and earn reasonable wages.They can make it a point to use only locally owned hotel, restaurants and guide services. They can share profits fairly to help the local economy. And they can involve the local people in planning and managing tourism.What can tourists do? First, we can ask tour companies to provide information about the conditions of local citizens. We can then make our choices and tell them why. And while we're abroad, we can: Buy local foods and products, not imported ones.Pay a fair price for goods and services and not bargain for the cheapest price.Avoid flaunting wealth.Ask before taking photographs of people.They are not just part of the landscape!Let's enjoy our vacation and make sure others do, too.72. What is probably the best title for the article?A. Tourism Causes Bad Effects.B. Tourism Calls for Good Behavior.C. Vacations Bring a Lot of Fun.D. Vacations Cost More Than You Think73. Which of the following is not mentioned?A. Local people were well paid to leave their lands.B. Tourists may stay in hotels opened by local people.C. Local people are mainly provided with low-paying work.D. Tourists could bargain with local people for a reasonable price.74. The underlined phrase "take heart" means" ".A. pay attentionB. take careC. cheer upD. calm down75. According to the passage, the writer thinks .A. tourism is not a promising industryB. dream vacations should be spent abroadC. the problems caused by tourism are easy to settleD. tourists should respect local customs and culture7Robert Owen was born in Wales in 1771. At the age of ten he went to work. His employer had a large private library so Owen was able to educate himself. He read a lot in his spare time and at nineteen he was given the job of superintendent(监工) at a Manchester cotton mill. He was so successful there that he persuaded his employer to buy the New Lanark mill in Scotland.When he arrived at New Lanark it was a dirty little town with a population of 2,000 people. Nobody paid any attention to the workers' houses or their children's education. The conditions in the factories were very bad. There was a lot of crime and the men spent most of their wages on alcoholic drinks.Owen improved the houses. He encouraged people to be clean and save money. He opened a shop and sold the workers cheap, well-made goods to help them. He limited the sale of alcoholic drinks. Above all, he fixed his mind on the children's education. In 1816 he opened the first free primary school in Britain.People came from all over the country to visit Owen's factory. They saw that the workers were healthier andmore efficient than in other towns. Their children were better fed and better educated. Owen tried the same experiment in the United States. He bought some land there in 1825,but the community was too far away. He could not keep it under control and lost most of his money.Owen never stopped fighting for his idea. Above all he believed that people are not born good or bad. He was a practical man and his ideas were practical. "If you give people good working conditions," he thought, "they will work well and, the most important thing of all, if you give them the chance to learn, they will be better people."56. For Owen, his greatest achievement in New Lanark was _____________.A. improving worker's housesB. helping people to save moneyC. preventing men from getting drunkD. providing the children with a good education57. From the passage we may infer that Owen was born ___________.A. into a rich familyB. into a noble familyC. into a poor familyD. into a middle class family58. Owen's experiment in the United States failed because _______.A. he lost all his moneyB. he did not buy enough landC. people who visited it were not impressedD. it was too far away for him to organize it properly59. We may infer form the passage that no children in Britain could enjoy free education until ____.A. 1771B. 1816C. 1825D. 18608Do you want to improve the way you study? Do you feel nervous before a test? Many students say that a lack of concentration (注意力) is their biggest problem. It seriously affects their ability to study, so do their test results.If so, use these tips to help you.Study Techniques●You should always study in the same place. You shouldn’t sit in a position that you use foranother purpose. For example, when you sit on a sofa to study, your brain will think it is time to relax. Don’t watch TV while you are studying. Experts warn that your concentration may be reduced by 50 percent if you attempt to study in this way. Always try to have a white wall in front of you, so there is nothing to distract (make less concentrated) you. Before sitting down to study, gather together all the equipment you need. Apart from your textbooks, pens, pencils and knives, make sure you have a dictionary. If your study desk or table is needed when you are not studying, store all your equipment in a box beside it.●Your eyes will become tired if you try to read a text which is on a flat surface. Position yourbook at an angle of 30 degrees.●Be realistic and don’t try to complete too much in one study period. Finish one thing beforebeginning another. If you need a break, get up and walk around for a few minutes, but try not to telephone a friend or have something to eat.Test-taking Skills●All your hard work will be for nothing if you are too nervous to take your test. Getting plenty ofrest is very important. This means do not study all night before your test! It is a better idea to have a long-term study plan. Try to make a timetable for your study which lasts for a few months.●Exercise is a great way to reduce pressure. Doing some form of exercise every day will alsoimprove your concentration. Eat healthy food too.●When you arrive in the examination room, find your seat and sit down. Breathe slowly anddeeply. Check the time on the clock during the test, but not too often. Above all, take no notice of everyone else and give the test paper your undivided attention.65. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. You should study in a different place every day, so you don’t get bored.B. Your concentration will improve if you study and watch TV at the same time.C. Check the time during the exam at a certain time.D. Staying up all night and studying is tiring, but you will learn a lot using this method.66. What does the underlined word “it” refer to?A. Your study desk or table.B. Your textbook.C. Your dictionary.D. The equipment you need.67. What can be inferred from the passage?A. You shouldn’t look at everyone else during the test.B. You will have enough energy to deal with your study and exams by eating healthy diet.C. You’ll concentrate more if there is nothing to distract you.D. If you feel tired during study, you can walk around for a few minutes.9On June 17, 1774, the officials from Maryland and Virginia held a talk with the Indians of the Six Nations. The Indians were invited to send boys to William and Mary College. In a letter the next day they refused the offer as follows:We know that you have a high opinion of the kind of learning taught in your colleges, and that the costs of living of our young men, while with you, would be very expensive to you. We are convinced that you mean to do us good by your proposal; and we thank you heartily. But you must know that different nations have different ways of looking at things, and you will therefore not be offended if our ideas of this kind of education happen not to be the same as yours. We have had some experience of it. Several of our young people were formerly brought up at the college of the northern provinces: they were taught all your sciences; but when they came back to us, they were bad manners, ignorant of every means of living in the woods – they were totally good for nothing.We are, however, not the less obliged by your kind offer, though we refuse to accept it; and, to show our grateful sense of it, if the gentlemen of Virginia will send us a dozen of their sons, we will take care of their education, teach them all we know, and make men of them.68. The passage is about ____.A. the talk between the Indians and the officialsB. the colleges of the northern provincesC. the educational values of the IndiansD. the problems of the Americans in the mid-eighteen century69. The Indian chief’s purpose of writing the letter seems to be to ____.A. politely refuse a friendly offerB. express their opinions on equal treatmentC. show their prideD. describe Indian customs70. According to the letter, the Indians believed that ____.A. it would be better for their boys to receive some schoolingB. they were being insulted by the offerC. they knew more about science than the officialsD. they had better way of educating young men71. Different from the officials’ view of education, the Indians thought ____.A. young women should also be educatedB. they had different goals of educationC. they taught different branches of scienceD. they should teach the sons of the officials first10Never go into a supermarket hungry! This is a good piece of advice. If you go shopping for food before lunchtime, you’ll probably buy more than you plan to. Unfortunately, however, just this advice isn’t enough for consumers these days. Modern shoppers need an education in how and how not to buy things at the store. First,you check the weekly newspaper ads. Find out the items that are on sale and decide if you really need these things. In other words, don’t buy anything just because it’s cheaper than usual! “New and Improved!” or “All Natural” on the front of a package influence you. Instead, read the list of ingredients(contents) on the back. Third, compare prices: that is, you should examine the prices of both different brands and different sizes of the same brand.Another suggestion for consumers is to buy ordinary items instead of famous brands. Ordinary items in supermarkets come in plain packages. These products are cheaper because producers don’t spend much money on packing or advertising. The quality, however, is usually as good as the quality of well-known name brands. In the same way, in buying clothes, you can often find high quality and low prices in brands that are not famous. Shopping in discount clothing stores can help you save a lot of money. Although these stores ar en’t very attractive, and they usually do not have individual dressing rooms, not only are the prices low, but you can often find the same famous brands that you find in high-priced department stores.Wise consumers read magazine ads and watch TV commercials, but they do this with one advantage: knowledge of the psychology behind the ads. In other words, well-informed consumers watch for information and check for misinformation. They ask themselves questions: Is the advertiser hiding something in small print at the bottom of the page? Is there any real information in the commercial, or is the advertiser simply showing an attractive image? With the answers to these questions, consumers can make a wise choice.72. All the following statements are true about th e phrase “ordinary items” in Paragraph 2 except ____.A. ordinary items never say “New and Improved” or “All Natural”B. ordinary products are usually cheaper than famous brandsC. producers spend less money on packaging of ordinary itemsD. the quality of ordinary items is usually as good as that of famous brands73. What does the writer think about ads?A. They are believable.B. They are attractive.C. They are full of misinformation.D. They are helpful to consumers.74. One of the author’s suggestions to consumers is ____.A. to make use of adsB. not to buy items with words like “New and Improved” or “All Natural”C. to buy high quality items such as famous brands after lunchD. to buy any ordinary items instead of famous brands75. The author implies that ____.A. going into the supermarket hungry, you may buy more than you plan toB. the quality of ordinary items is usually high and the prices are relatively lowC. discount clothing stores are good places to go toD. ads sometimes don’t tell the truth11Language learning begins with listening. Children are greatly different in the amount of listening they do before they start speaking, and later starters are often long listeners .Most children will “obey” spoken instructions some time before they ca n speak, though the word “obey” is hardly accurate as a description of the eager and delighted cooperation usually shown by the child .Before they can speak, many children will also ask questions by gesture and by making questioning noises.Any attempt to study the development from the noises babies make to their first spoken words leads to considerable difficulties. It is agreed that they enjoy making noises, and that during the first few months one or two noises sort themselves as particularly expressive as delight, pain, friendliness, and so on. But since these can’t be said to show the baby’s intention to communicate, they can hardly be regarded as early forms of language. It is agreed, too, that from about three months they play with sounds for enjoyment, and that by six months they are able to add new words to their store. This self-imitation（模仿）leads on to deliberate（有意的）imitation of sounds made or words spoken to them by other people. The problem then arises as to the point at which one can say that these imitations can be considered as speech.It is a problem we need to get out teeth into. The meaning of a word depends on what a particular person means by it in a particular situation and it is clear that what a child means by a word will change as he gains more experience of the world .Thus the use at seven months of “mama” as a greeting for his mother cannot be dismissed as a meaningless sound simply because he also uses it at other times for his father, his dog, or anything else he likes. Playful and meaningless imitation of what other people say。

B（words:220&237）1970 was “World Conservation Year”. The United Nations wanted everyone to know that the world was in danger. They hoped that the governments would act quickly in order to conserve nature. Here is one example of the problem. At one time there were 1300 different plants, trees and flowers in Holland, but now only 860 remain. The others have been destroyed by modern man and his technology. We are changing the earth, the air and the water, and everything that grows and lives. We can’t live without these things. If we continue like this, we shall destroy ourselves.What will happen in the future? Perhaps it is more important to ask “What must we do now?” The people who will be living in the world of tomorrow are the young of today. A lot of them know that conservation is necessary. Many are hoping to save our world. They plant trees, build bridges across rivers in forests and so on. In a small town in the United States a large group of girls cleaned the banks of eleven kilometres of their river. Young people may hear about conservation through a record called “No, One’s Going to Change our World. ” It was made by Scatles, Cliff Richard and other singers. The money from it will help to conserve wild animals.46. There are few plants, trees and flowers in Holland now because _______.A. there has been a lot of conservation in HollandB.
